Australia's great outdoors and Australian rock music legends will come together at the National 4x4 Outdoors Show and Fishing & Boating Expo with exclusive open-air performances set to rock visitors.

Live from the XXXX Retreat in the Action Arena, Mark Seymour of Hunters and Collectors fame and Ross Wilson, fresh from his National tour as the front man for Mondo Rock, will be wowing the crowds in exclusive performances at 1pm on the Saturday and Sunday respectively.

'We are absolutely thrilled to be hosting these performances from Mark and Ross. Both are exceptionally talented musicians and some of the most recognisable names in Australian rock music,' Paul Mathers, Event Director said.

'One of our focuses for the National 4x4 Outdoors Show and Fishing & Boating Expo this year has been to identify what enthuses our visitors, not just in the 4x4 and outdoor arenas, but outside of this and we are confident that visitors will enjoy these exclusive music shows.

'The performances are included in the ticket price for that day, making it an extra special bonus for our visitors.'
